1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner about how visitors use the site. Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies"; cookies set by domains other than the one you are visiting are called "third-party cookies."

We also use similar technologies including web beacons, pixels, local storage, and session storage. Throughout this Policy, "cookies" refers collectively to all of these technologies.
